I have mixed feelings aobut these jets. I like them, and don't mind them being Target Exclusives, but I really wish they'd mass release the Rattler with a generic pilots instead. Still Python Patrol Vipers, good, having to spend 25 bucks to get just one... bad. |

If the PP Viper ever makes it to single card, I may pick one up for nostalgia's sake.
I had a beloved PP Viper as a child and still remember the day it was traded away for some worthless figures by my brother. |

All I have to say is I loved the art boxes for the 80's and that I'll probably pick both of them up if I have the cash laying around otherwise no thanks, but I am worried that if they are the art boxes and not the see-through ones, if we buy them and then get them home and open them and find out that someone already opened it at the store and stole parts that they wanted. Like how some people have already reported about the Ultimate Battle Pack or any of the other sets. Also hoping that they will make a new Flagg, G.I.Joe HQ, Terrordome, Killer WHALE and the Mobile Command Center. Also they need a modern era Sgt. Slaughter and his Mauraders.

wow..great can't wait...I wonder how much it will cost Hasbro to make these now....$5 bucks. Wish it had different pilots. The good news is TARGET is willing to keep selling Joe exclusive vehicles.

When I first put two and two together in Hasbro's q&a's to realize they were putting these out I had an idea of what we'd get. The PP Conquest is EXACTLY what I thought. I assumed a Viper. But the Rat? 100% sure it would include a Skystriker figure. They have the parts to make a VERY close version. But what do they do? They include a helicopter pilot to operate a plane.
So okay, at least Bill was supposed to be in TF at first, now does Hasbro use the original TF color scheme? NO!!! Do they then at least use the color scheme of the '03 Joe vs. Cobra TF version?? NO!!! Sorry, but Hasbro had their head up their crack creating this one.

I just can't stand the idea swapping of vehicles between Joe and Cobra. If cobra has a rattler, suddenly Joe has a big tiger plane, wtf?! Joe makes this crazy conquest, and suddenly Cobra puts fishnets on it? The paint schemes are bad, but the sheer stupidity of the concept is far far worse. Would you all buy a Joe Tiger HISS too?! (I just got a little ill typing that...)
I didn't give these a second look in the 80's, and I'll certainly leave them for the rest of you when they come out this time (and no, I won't be changing my mind and chasing these abominations down - or shoving children out of the way - as was implied by someone). These are as obvious as they were the first time around, and they have not improved with age. I'm truly stunned at the number of people actually excited about these. To each his own, but wow...

You are killing me Hasbro and Target-I was so hoping to see a better aircraft up for grabs like the SKYSTRIKER V2 or a TOMAHAWK. Cmon guys, seriously, more repaints, what version are we on now? Seriously, enough of the repaints, bring on the new stuff, the molds have paid for themselsves at least 4x over now-that's pure profit, why not use some for a new SKY STRIKER?
I would rather pay 50$ for a new SKY STRIKER and two new figures than keep buying the same old crap, cmon HASBRO, grab em if you got em and make a decent jet already. Superflanker has given you some great inspiration, put it to use. This is why ELITE OPS takes a chunk of your pie, you guys keep putting out the same stuff, just new packaging. I would say its TARGET's fault, but I know its Hasbro that is bringing the presentations to the table. Target had the cahones to take the JLU and they were smart, now distribution is really thier only problem. Target is where I usually buy all my Joe stuff anyway. Exclusives are great, but please not more repaints.

Off topic a bit but who out there would buy a book that contained the Art of GI Joe- that box is tremendous.

Yeah, these repainted planes, the ROTJ Rancor, and a ton of other repainted toys are sure to come. You know they'll do it!

I totally would. I bought all the vintage toys recently and I always try to get ones with a box so I can display it. The artwork in itself is super sweet! Hopefully the new GI JOE collector book will have box art like the LEE's guide from back in the day.
